feel all right? i m good. last year for danger by design on the science channel nick and his mother went back to puerto rico, back to the place where carl fell to his death and he completed the journey his great grandpa never did. but as proud as he is of his name, nick tells me it is part of a deliberate attempt to break free of the legacy of wallenda tragedy. an effort to go big, get famous, and stay perfect. you have never fallen? never. i ve broken two bones in my life and that was playing football or tennis. i ve don t foresee myself falling. that s where the training comes in. of course accidents are called accidents for a reason. i have trained since i was a little boy to grab the wire no matter what. you can see it live, 8:00 eastern. 7:00 central. rob is actually trying to break a world news record for stage walking or pussyfooting.
